crime was committed. Roche and Grin
nell were arrested. They were found
hidden in some rubbish in loft. Roche
denied having mad anything to do with
the killing. He said he had concealed
himself because he understood he had bee n

to go to Jail. Smiths wife, who wit
messed the murder of her husband, has
fully identified Roche as the murderer
and Grinneu as the man who accompanied
him

Washing of the Soil.

The washing of the soil by heavy rains
is one of the most potent causes of the
changing of the surface of uneven or billy
not 10 mention the mouniainous-lands
into gullies or bare and barren gravel
beds OF rocks. The damage thus caused
in the Southern States is enormous. Al
most every farm has its washed and a
bandoned fields, ruined in this way.
How to avoid it is one of the serious
problems OF the Southern agriculture.
With some experience III this direction
upon a hilly Southern farm the writer
has been led to believe that seeding the
most sIoping lands to grass or clover and
deen plowing are the best remedies for
the evil. \ badly washed field plowed
plow and sown with oats and mixed
with grass has been subjected 10 one Of
the most sweeping and injurious rain tor
rents known for some years back. The
field escaped practically without injury,
4 small part Of it sloping two ways tc a
shallow gulch or cove only being at Ala
washed, and this no more torn few
fIrpws where the water, " hich the soil
could not absorb, flowed off TO the lower
level \ field on an adjoining farm,
plowed with the common bull tongue

flowed in torrents of mud down the slope

colors with the green Of the trees, bushes

and thers their long green or golden
stems, crowned with an immense plume
of pretty little trembling leaves. One
conprehends ON seeing these stems,
which assume in a few monthsenormOus

ishnent Of the Chinese in binding a
criminal TO a young bamboo. The plant
grows and the wretch Is quartered in s
few weeks. No wood is lighter OF more
useful than the bamboo. One does not
understand why the Egyptians neglect
TO plant it along the canals and on every
cultivated land, where it grows 50 well.
Bun what gives, at least during the win
ter and spring. the most smiling aspect
to the Egyptian gardens are the great
sheets Of rose bougaiavilleas that clingt0
the walls, the trees and groups of foliage
and which display everywhere the varied
and exquisite tints of their flowers The
bougainvilleas is certainly the finest of
climbing plants During FIVE months it

shades Of extreme delicacy-one might
say light rose trail, the intensity Of
which every play Of light varies. The
aloes, the agave, attach themselves on
rocky slops On the banks of the water

cannot be raised in Egypt. The layer Of
soil i 50 thin that the sun dries it up i'm

stantly submerged, it turns yellow and

that produces the result, for there is much
fine grass in the tropics but the heat.

a few blades of grass sprout during the
winter along the Nile and along the
canals; they disappear as soon as spring

try where artificial cultivation finishes
the dry and bare desert begins. In the
place Of grass pretty verbenaeia IS used,
and this is encountered everywhere the
same as grass is encountered in Amer

SoIomon's Judgment in China.


Two women came before mandarin
in China, runs an ancient Chinese chron-
icle, each of them protesting that she
was the mother of little child they had
brought with them. They were so eager
and so positive that the mandarin was
sorely puzzled He retired to consult
with his wife, who was wise and clever
woman, whose opinion was held in great
repute in the neighborhood.
She requested five minutes in which TO
deliberate. At the end of the time she
spoke
"Let the servants catch me large fish
in the river, and let it be brought me
here alive"
This was done.
Bring me now the infant" she said,
but leave the women in the outer cham
ber."
This was done too. Then the manda-
rims wife caused the baby to be undress-
ed, and its clothes to be put on the large
fish.
Carry the creature outside now, and
throw it into the river in the sight of the
two women
The servant obeyed his orders, fling
ind the fish into the water, where il roll
ed about and struggled, disgusted no
doubt. by the wrapping in which it was
swaddled.
Without a moments pause, one of the
mothers threw herself into the river
with a shrek. She must save her drown
ing child
without doubt, she is the true moth
err" she declared and the mandarins
wife commanded that she should be res
cued and the child given to her
"Withont doubt. she is the true moth
err" she declared And the mandarin
nodded his head, and thought his wife
the wisest woman in the FIowery King
dom. Meantime the false mother crept
away. She was found out in her impos-
ture, and the mandarins wife forgot all
about her in the occupation of dressing
the little baby in the best silk she could
find in her wardrobe.
